How long the bank draft remains valid??

[wxyz123]

When I sent my documents to CIO Sydeny I sent a bank draft of 550$. Its almost five months now and I don't know if they have cashed the bank draft or not. Does anybody know if there is an expiry to bank draft.?????????????

5months means urs was reached at the end of april. As we can see almost all of the May applicants (whose application hasn't been returned) have their cc/dd encashed, so we can predict the same for ur case.

applicants from late april/early are still waiting for the reply (AOR) from CIC. I hope they/you wil get their AOR very soon.

u should check these links (latest updates)
May applicants: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/may-2010-applicants-t40510.0.html;msg436138#msg436138
June applicants: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/june-applicant-2010-t43317.0.html;msg435591#msg435591

Note: some of them haven't still updated with the status, which doesn't mean their cc/dd hasn't been encashed.

Bank DD is valid for 6 month but if u have bank DD in Foreign Currency it will valid for more then 1 year

Don't worry, they will encash the DD before expiry. But it is not mandatroy to send AOR immedatily.
